The Atlanta Regional Commission announced that the planned extension of 15th Street was recently awarded a $2 million grant from the Federal Highway Administration.

Through a partnership with the City of Atlanta, Midtown Alliance is designing the project and serves as the city’s implementation agent for the project.

The 15th Street Extension project will help complete Midtown’s street grid, which makes the district easier and safer to navigate for all modes of transport. It will create two new blocks of roadway, a rare opportunity in an urban environment.

The design and engineering phase is expected to wrap up by this fall. Pending approvals and permitting by authorities, construction procurement is forecasted to begin late this year. Construction is slated to begin in early 2022 with an anticipated duration of 18 months.
